Exploring Biomass for Biofuel Production
Delving into the transition from biomass to biofuels, this chapter discusses the various conversion processes involved such as fermentation for corn ethanol and thermal-chemical conversions for cellulosic biomass. It also highlights the sources of biomass used for biofuels, including industrial wood waste and corn ethanol, and explores the economic availability of biomass from forests, wastes, agriculture, and algae through studies like the Billionton Report. The importance of incentivizing forest managers to utilize unused biomass from managed forests for energy production is emphasized.
